The Imo Family Legacy
In 1964, Ed and Margie Imo opened the first Imo's Pizza in the Dogtown neighborhood of St. Louis. With a simple vision to serve the best pizza in town, they created something truly special – a paper-thin crust topped with our signature Provel cheese blend.
What started as a neighborhood pizzeria quickly became a St. Louis phenomenon. The unique combination of our cracker-thin crust, tangy sauce, and distinctive cheese created a style that became synonymous with St. Louis pizza culture.
Today, we continue to honor Ed and Margie's legacy by maintaining the same commitment to quality ingredients, authentic preparation methods, and the warm hospitality that made us a beloved part of the community.
Every pizza we serve carries forward their dream of bringing people together over great food and creating memories that last a lifetime.
